Collection 2013
Apparel Design Show
Saturday, May 18 at 7 pm
Preview at 2 pm
Collection 2013, the Apparel Design department’s popular fashion show, will take to the runway on Saturday, May 18 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in downtown Providence. After months of conceptual development, experimentation and meticulous construction, students have an opportunity to showcase their one-of-a-kind creations to the public at this annual event. For the enthusiastic audience, it’s a fun and fast-paced evening of entertainment offering a sneak peak at the fashion tastemakers and trendsetters of the future.
The designs shown in each year’s Collection are juried by a panel of guest critics – professional designers who carefully review and discuss the work together, give students critical feedback and select the best garments for the runway show. Designs by seniors are selected from their year-long thesis collections – unified bodies of work that showcase professional-grade conceptual and technical skills; for juniors it’s from their men’s or women’s tailored jacket looks and cut/sew knitwear project or costumes designed in collaboration with Providence Festival Ballet; and sophomore work is selected from their textiles-collaborative print projects, as well as from the Re-Innovatives challenge – to construct a wearable piece out of recycled materials other than fabric.
Guest critics for Collection 2013 are:
